    Hey guys, so a 1-week review turned into 6-month long-term review. Sorry about the wait. Hope some of this info is useful though!
  • @moonqueen2037
    This is the best and most professional review I’ve seen for this laptop and I’ve seen almost all available. Great video. Thanks a lot.
  • @tarundoerga
    Damn! This should be the standard for reviewing everything!
  • @mineralisk
    Great work, thanks for putting all of this together. I wish there was more stuff like this on YouTube.
  • @havenl2612
    Wow, this is not just a review, this is love ! Brad treated the laptop like a child : he not only pointed out the problems, but also found the causes and tried his best to fix them. Seriously, I'm buying whichever laptop this guy chooses for his own next, because I know that I will get advices for my device better than any customer services ! Btw, love and subscribed. I'm looking forward to your next laptop related video !
  • @mattkenyon.68
    Probably the best technical and practical advice review I've seen to date. What a breath of fresh air.
  • @kram7511
    Such an amazing and informative video. Loved learning so much about my laptop, don’t have 2020 version but the 2018 one but I didn’t know I had so many solutions to many of the problems I have with my laptop. Thank you lots! Keep doing what you’re doing :))

    Wow, the amount of detail you go into is amazing Brad. Thanks for all the in-depth reviews and improvement research/hacks you have done on the Matebook X Pro. Impressive work. I like the screen and aspect ratio of it too, my favourite part really, and its compact form factor/design. I’m surprised that Huawei has not just used all your findings to improve it every year, to squeeze out all potential it has. Sad that the reality is the reverse. Hopefully they will come out with something new eventually that addresses all the issues, maybe even do a Pro with a new Ryzen CPU, but I am not holding my breath.

    Well done review. It’s the exact type of format and thoroughness I like. Too bad these types of reviews don’t garner the same attention and follows as other tech reviewers. At least you earn my sub. Keep up the great work.
  • @heyuchen7697
    This is what we call a REVIEW! Keep up the good work!
  • @waytodawn1913
    I never usually comment on these but you informed me while saving me time and money bro. Appreciate you loads 💕
  • @seabird101
    Hoping you get your hands on a 2021 model soon. Cant wait to see how that does. Currently still on my 2018 model
  • @alexbest4546
    Dude, you are amazing with this review! For this, I have subscribed to your future reviews. Good job!
  • @LigerLt
    For the first time in 30 years i've found someone who's review is worth listening to. Dude, you've just raised the bar for laptop reviews - at least for geeks. Might be a "little" heavy on the info side for normal people... - a good thing. Please consider going pro at this
  • @antonchigurh4125
